I do not own anything from DWP I have just borrowed the characters for inspiration.

I do not know about you all but I needed tissues. :) Loving all the comments.

The next morning the couple was due at Dr. Jackson's.

Andréa paced while Miranda sat. "Sweetheart why not sit?"

Andréa smiled and walked over to Miranda. She put her hands on Miranda's shoulders and lowered her forehead to Miranda's. "I can't, it is so uncomfortable."

Miranda smiled and rubbed Andréa's belly. "It will be over soon."

Andréa smiled, "And we will have our little ones."

Tammi walked in on the scene. "You two never cease to amaze me."

Andréa turned her head, "I ache all over."

Tammi smiled and touched Andréa's shoulder, "It is almost over. Let's get you on the table. I just want to take a quick feel then you can get up." Tammi and Miranda helped Andréa up on the table. Tammi examined her as quickly as she could. "O.K. Andréa here let's get you up. Well the boys are still cooperating. They are both still head down." Andréa smiled.

Miranda rubbed the belly, "that's my boys." There was a ripple that passed over Andréa's belly.

"I have more good news. This may-be over sooner than we expected. You are three centimeters dilated."

Andréa stared, scared, "I have not felt anything. No cramps, no contractions."

Tammi smiled reassuringly, "This is not unusual Andréa just the pressure from the babies can do this. But from now on I do not want you to go into work. I would like you to rest."

"I will make sure she does." Miranda simply stated.

Tammi laughed.


Four nights later Miranda awoke to Andréa calling her name.

Miranda's eye fluttered open. She looked around and the bed was empty. "Andréa? Where are you?"

"Miranda. In the bathroom." Miranda got up and walked in, Andréa was sitting on the commode.

Andréa looked up and smiled, "I think my water just broke."

Miranda rushed over to her side, "Are you O.K?"

Andréa nodded, "We are going to meet our boys."

Miranda helped Andréa dress. She went to get her phone and dialed, "Kara, I am taking Andréa to the hospital. Yes it is time. The girls will be fine until you get here. Thank you Kara."

Miranda placed another call, "We are on our way to the hospital. I do not want press trying to get pictures of Andréa and me." Miranda was quiet and nodded her head.

Before they left Miranda placed one last call, "Tammi, it is Miranda. Andréa's water broke and we are on our way to Presbyterian."

Miranda walked Andréa out to the parking garage. Andréa started walking over to the Porsche.

"Andréa over here." The two climbed into a black SUV with blackened windows. Inside Andréa recognized members of Miranda's security crew.

Andréa smiled, "You think of everything."

Miranda smirked. The pressed camped outside the townhome did not pay any attention to the SUV as they were looking for the Porsche. Andréa laughed as she felt her first contraction. Miranda rubbed Andréa's belly. The SUV pulled up to a side door at the hospital. There was no one around. The door was opened and a wheelchair was waiting to take Andréa to the OB Department.

Once upstairs Andréa was settled into one of the VIP rooms. She was hooked up to a fetal monitor.

Andréa looked at Miranda scared.

Miranda walked over to the nurse and glared, "Andréa does not wish to be hooked up to machines. She wants to be able to get around. Doctor Jackson knows this."

The nurse smiled, "I am sorry Andrea this is just for a short time. We want to see how the babies are dealing with your contractions then we will take it off. Every once in a while during your labor we will hook you back up just to check on them."

Andréa sighed and nodded. Just then another contraction came on.

Tammi walked in a few minutes after Andy was settled in. She smiled at the couple holding hands and seeing Miranda whispering in Andrea's ear during the contraction.

"Had to come in, in the middle of the night. Could not wait 'til morning?"

Andrea grinned, "You know their Miranda's children."

Tammi laughed and Miranda rolled her eyes, "It is a good thing I love you."

Tammi looked at the fetal heart monitor tracing. "Everything looks good I would just like to see how far dilated you are then we can unhook you." Tammi did her exam. "O.K. Andréa the nurse will get these straps off you and you can get up and do what you want. You are still three centimeters dilated so we have a bit of a wait ahead of us. I will be resting in a room nearby so if you need anything or have any questions just let the nurse know and they will come get me."

Andréa nodded, "Thank you Dr. Jackson."

The monitor was removed and Andréa got up.

"You should try to go to sleep." Miranda encouraged.

Andréa smiled at Miranda, "I know but I am too wired."

Miranda laughed, "Does not surprise me."

Andréa looked at the nurse, "Can we walk around?"

The nurse smiled, "Yes just stay on the unit." Andréa held out her hand. Miranda took it and off they went. Before they got out the door another contraction hit and Andréa had to stop to hold onto the door. The couple walked the halls for a while until Andréa announced she was tired. Miranda smile and escorted her back to her room. She helped Andréa into bed.

"Miranda lay down with me." Andréa pleaded with those big brown eyes.

Miranda looked at the tiny bed, "Andréa there is no way the two of us will fit on there."

Andréa moved over, "sure there is."

Miranda smiled and climbed in with her love. Andréa cuddled into Miranda's side and was soon fast asleep. Miranda tried to get comfortable and soon followed Andréa to sleep. Every time Andréa had a contraction the couple was awake. Miranda would massage Andréa's belly and whisper into her ear throughout. After a few hours Miranda was no longer able to fall back asleep.

Miranda reached for her phone and dialed the townhome. "Kara are the girls up yet?"

"Yes Miranda."

"Call them I would like to chat with them."

"Momma!"

"Hello Bobbseys. Now you two listen and be good for Kara."

"Can we talk to Andy?"

Miranda looked at the sleeping women. "Not now she is sleeping. When she wakes up I will have her call you."

"Mamma?"

"Yes Bobbseys."

"Tell Andy we love her."

Miranda smiled sweetly, "I will my loves."

"When can we visit?"

"I will let you know when the babies are born then you can come up."

It was quiet.

"We cannot come before that?"

Miranda thought. "We will see how Andréa feels. You must remember having a baby is not easy. She needs her rest."

"O.K. Mommy."

"Goodbye girls."

"Bye Mommy."

Andréa awoke with another contraction. After it was over Miranda kissed her and lulled her back to sleep.

Miranda made more calls to both families and Nigel. Miranda slid out of bed and stood looking out the window. Just then a light knock came at the door. Miranda turned around.

"Hello Miranda I just wanted to let you know I will be going off shift and this will be Andréa's day nurse."

Miranda smiled and nodded. Just then Andréa awoke with another contraction. Miranda went over to the bed and took her hand. The nurse timed the contraction. Miranda informed her they were coming closer together but not really consistent. The nurse noted this in Andréa's chart.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" asked the nurse.

Miranda smiled, "some good hot coffee would be great."

A few minutes later the nurse came in with Starbucks and orange juice. She smiled at Miranda, "This was delivered for you." Miranda laughed. "The orange juice is for Andy if she is thirsty."

As the nurse left Miranda took a long sip of the hot brew, closed her eyes and swallowed.

"God Miranda I am in labor and you do that." Andréa sighed.

Miranda opened her eyes and grinned. She took the orange juice over to her love. "How are you feeling?"

Andréa shrugged, "Not bad. I want to go for a walk."

Miranda helped her up and off they went. Andréa experienced a few contractions during the walk and with the help of Miranda and a passing nurse was able to ride them out. It seemed they were more consistent now.

Later that morning Tammi walked in with another Starbucks for Miranda and juice for Andréa.

Andréa laughed, "Really Miranda you have my doctor delivering Starbucks for you."

Tammi laughed, "I cannot take credit for this it just arrived."

Andy started another contraction. She put her head on Miranda's shoulder and rode it out. It took her a few minutes to stand up after it. She looked tired.

"I would like to put the monitor back on you and see how everything is going on and then see how dilated you are." Andréa nodded. Miranda helped her into bed. Tammi placed the monitor on. "O.K. Andy with the next contraction I will check you. I am sorry it will be uncomfortable but I will be quick." Andréa nodded. While they waited Tammi checked over Andréa's chart. "I am glad you were able to get some sleep." Tammi was watching the strip. "O.K. Andréa a contraction is coming up here we go." Andréa winced during the exam. Miranda held her hand and kissed her forehead. "Well, you are still three centimeters."

Andréa stared, "Are you sure?"

Tammi smiled, "Yes, I have done this for quite a few years." Andréa blushed. "Andy this is not unusual. Now that the contractions are more consistent things will start moving."

"Andrea, you should lay down and rest." Miranda encouraged.

Andréa shook her head, "Miranda it is so uncomfortable."

"Sweetheart, let me help you." Andréa nodded. "Now lay on your right side like you did at home." Miranda propped pillows around Andréa's middle and between her legs. Miranda then sat at the side of Andréa's bed and massaged her abdomen and sang the lullaby. Andréa soon fell to sleep.

"That was beautiful." Miranda turned, Anna was at the door.

Miranda got up. "Anna come in." Miranda hugged the woman. "Andréa will be so glad to see you." The two women sat and talked. Every time Andy woke up with a contraction Miranda was right there for her. Anna was so happy that her baby had such an attentive partner.

Early in the afternoon Andréa insisted on getting up, "I cannot lay here anymore."

Miranda helped her up. "Shall we walk?"

Andréa nodded. Miranda took one side and Anna took the other. They walked down to the waiting room where Richard and Sarah were.

When Andréa saw her Father she began to sob, "Daddy."

Richard got up and went over to his Daughter and gathered her into his arms holding her close. "Oh baby girl."

Andréa experienced a very painful contraction and she held onto her Father. Richard had tears in his eyes.

After it was over Andy looked at her Father, "Daddy don't cry it is O.K. this is all good."

Richard smiled. He helped her back to the room. On the way they ran into Dr. Jackson. "I was just coming to see you Andy."

Once in the room Tammi told Richard he may not want to stay for Andréa's exam. Richard agreed.

"Daddy, please don't go far."

"Baby I will be right outside."

Anna looked at the Doctor, "They have always been very close. The night she was born they could not get her to stop crying until they laid her in his arms."

Miranda laughed. Tammi hooked Andréa up to the monitor and with the next contraction checked her. "Well good news. You are now at five centimeters. The babies are tolerating the contractions well."

"Five! Five! That's all? Miranda tell your boys to get busy." Andra pleaded.

Tammi and Anna laughed.

"I will see what I can do Sweetheart."

"Andy do you want an epidural placed?"

"Oh baby maybe you should." Anna looked hopeful, she hated seeing Andy in so much pain.

Andy shook her head, "No. Miranda please I do not want it."

Miranda rubbed Andréa's belly and kissed her forehead. "It is O.K. Sweetheart. It will not be done unless you ask for it. O.K." Andra nodded as another contraction took hold.

Kara brought the girls in for a short visit. They cautiously walked into the strange room. Andy was in the middle of a contraction at the time. Miranda was helping Andréa through it. The girls stood looking scared. Kara started to usher them out of the room but they would not go. The contraction was over and Andréa lifted her head.

Caroline walked over, "Andy are you all right?"

The child was crying. Miranda pulled her close. "Bobbsey, I told you it was hard to have a baby, and it does hurt."

"Yes, Caroline I am fine. It really hurts buts soon the babies will be here." Andy smiled brightly, "And it will be all worth it."

Caroline looked at Miranda, "did you hurt when you had us?"

Miranda nodded. "And it was all worth it."

Cassidy shook her head, "I am never having a baby."

The grownups laughed.

"O.K. girls give your Mom and Andy a kiss. We need to let her rest."

Andy hugged both girls, "I love you."

They took small walks in the hall Richard on one side and Miranda on the other. Andy stopped frequently as the contractions took over. Miranda finally told Andréa they needed to go back to the room. It was late in the afternoon. Andy was miserable. Miranda did what she could. Tammi arrived for another check when Andréa was in the middle of a contraction. Andy was once again with her forehead on Miranda's shoulder. Tammi could see the contraction racking Andréa's entire body. Andy would not let her Father leave this time so he just stood holding her hand with his eyes closed. When the contraction came Andy squeezed Richards's hand, he cringed.

"Good news Andy you're at eight centimeters." Andy rolled her eyes.

Miranda kissed her, "your almost there."

"Andy do you need the epidural or want any pain medicine?" Andy shook her head as another contraction came on.

Andy with you this close I would like to keep you on the monitor.

Andy shook her head, "I can't," and she started to cry. "Miranda please."

"Shhh, sweetheart. Remember how we do this." Miranda looked at Tammi, "she can lay on her side?" Tammi nodded. "See Andréa just roll on your side and I'll put the pillows around you." Andréa nodded and did as she was told. Another contraction hit and Miranda rubbed her belly and sang her the lullaby.

Andy came out of the contraction smiling, "I love you Miranda."

Tammi smiled, "I'll just be at the nurse's station." Miranda nodded.

Within the hour Andréa was in the middle of a contraction when she announced, "Miranda I … I want to push."

Miranda rang the call light and talked Andy through it so she would not push. Tammi and the nurse walked in.

Miranda looked up, "She is ready to push."

Tammi smiled, "Let's deliver us a couple of boys. Andy if this is still comfortable for you stay on your side."

They called in a second nurse, and the two warmers for the babies were moved into the room. After a few more contractions Tammi announced she could see the head. Andréa was looking at Miranda and smiling. Soon there was a small infant screaming in the room. Andréa and Miranda both had tears in their eyes as Tammi placed the infant up next to Andréa's chest. Michael had his eyes open looking intently at his Mother. Miranda was caressing the small infants head. Next thing they knew the baby was looking to nurse.

Tammi laughed, "Go ahead Andy let him."

One of the nurses helped Andy. Soon Andréa was racked with another contraction. Andréa cried out, as one of the nurses took Michael.

"Andy the baby is a little stuck. He is crooked. I need to turn him. I'm sorry it will hurt but I need you to just breathe no pushing." Andréa nodded. "O.K. with the next contraction." Tammi went to work and Andy cried out. Miranda was kissing Andréa's forehead as tears ran down her face.

When the contraction was over Andréa looked at Miranda, "Babe, I am O.K."

Miranda tried to smile and nodded.

"O.K. Andy with the next contraction I need you to push." Andy nodded. The next contraction Andy pushed and Tammi announced she could see the head. Two more contractions and there was a second infant screaming in the room.

Andréa was laughing, "They are defiantly Miranda's children."

Miranda rolled her eyes as Tammi placed the infant next to Andy's chest.

Miranda kissed the infant's head. Tears were falling from her eyes, "Hello Richard."

The infant quieted and looked over at Miranda. Miranda tickled the infant with her finger and he moved his head to nurse. "Sorry little man but if you are hungry you need to turn your head the other way."

With the help of the nurse Richard was soon nursing. They brought Michael over for Miranda to hold. Andréa and Miranda were beaming.

Andréa looked at Miranda, "I still cannot believe it. I love you."

Miranda leaned over and kissed Andréa. As she did Michael grabbed for Richard's hand.

Miranda groaned, "Oh no."

Andréa looked at Miranda, "What."

Miranda nodded at the boys, "the girls did that when they were born, I swear they are talking to each other when they do that."

Andréa started laughing, "Miranda!"

The boys smiled at the same time. "See."

Andréa shook her head and announced to the boys, "Your Mother is crazy."

Once Andréa was cleaned up and settled and both infants had a chance to nurse visitors were allowed in. The boys were sleeping soundly in bassinets. Andréa's parents and Sarah came in.

The couple was beaming, "Everyone meet Michael and Richard Sachs Priestly."

Richard looked at Andy and tears developed in his eyes.

"Oh Daddy don't start crying." Andy's eyes started to water.

Miranda smiled and went over to hug the man. While in Richards's arms she saw her Mother gently touching the twin's heads. She could see the tears in her eyes. As Richard went over to hug Andréa Miranda went to her Mother.

"They are beautiful Miranda."

"Mother I am sor …"

Sarah shook her head, "No Miranda don't. I know what you are going to say. You did what you had to. Let's just be happy we are all together now."

Miranda hugged her Mother, "I love you and I am glad you are here for the children."

There would be no more visitors for the night. Andréa was exhausted. The boys nursed one more time and were settled in the bassinets.

Andréa looked at Miranda. "Please sleep with me."

Miranda smiled, "Move over."

Miranda crawled in beside Andréa and Andréa immediately curled up against her. "Finally I can get my arms around you again."

Andréa giggled, "I love you."

Miranda smiled, "I love you too. Thank you Sweetheart."

Andréa feel asleep quickly. Miranda laid awake keeping a watchful eye over the two little boys sleeping next to the bed.

A few hours later Miranda was awaked by the infants cry. She smiled, "Boys your Mothers are trying to sleep."

She put a hand on Andréa's shoulder, "Sweetheart wake up the boys are hungry."

Andréa did not even open an eye, "You can feed them."

Miranda laughed, "I believe if I tried that they would be very upset." Miranda bent to kiss the woman, then climbed out of bed. She went over the infants and found Michael awake. "Figures you would be the one to wake us." Miranda checked his diaper then handed him to Andréa.

Andréa smiled, "I am going to take a video and sell it for a lot of money."

Miranda smirked as she caressed Richard's head, "I would not do that to the Dragon Lady Andréa." As Michael finished nursing Richard started to arouse. "Well don't the two of you have good timing." While Andréa nursed Richard Miranda rocked Michael to sleep.

"They are so soft Miranda. Is it possible for boys to be too beautiful?"

"Not mine." Miranda grinned at Andréa. Once the twins were once again fast asleep Miranda crawled back into bed with Andréa and the two fell asleep.

Andréa awoke to a knock on the door. Tammi walked in. "Good morning. How is my favorite patient doing?"

Andréa looked around, "Where is Miranda, the babies?"

Tammi smiled, "Hmm, so I can see where I fit in. The boys are in the nursery. Their pediatrician is doing their newborn exam. Miranda is keeping a close eye on them." Tammi started laughing, "She glared at the nurses and demanded to go in the nursery with them. No one ever gets in the nursery."

Andréa smiled, "The Dragon Lady still lives." Tammi looked at Andréa's chart then examined her, "when can we go home?"

Tammi giggled, "I want to keep you over night. I do not like sending my new mothers home for at least twenty-four hours."

Andy frowned, "I could send the Dragon Lady after you."

Tammi was laughing out loud when Miranda, a nurse and the boys came in the room. Michael was screaming at the top of his lungs.

Miranda handed the infant to Andréa, "He did not like being touched by Dr. Merry."

Andréa giggled and cuddled the infant close, "My poor little man."

The infant was tring to nurse. Andréa maneuvered things around and Michael nursed vigorously. Andréa kissed his forehead.

"So what was so funny?" Miranda inquired.

Tammi turned to Miranda, "Explain to Andréa my discharge policy."

Miranda smiled, "You go home only when she says so." Andréa arched an eyebrow.

Tammi nodded, "I will see you tomorrow morning. If you need me for anything have the nurses call me."

Tammi turned and left. Miranda sat on the bed and caressed Michael's head the infant squirmed. "O.K. little one I will not disturb you."

Andréa laughed. "Have you called the girls or Runway yet?"

Miranda shook her head. She pulled out her phone and dialed the townhome.

"Mom! Are the babies here yet? How is Andy?"

Miranda giggled, "Let me speak. Yes they are here and Andréa is doing fine."

"Can we talk to her?"

"She is busy feeding one of the boys but as soon as you two get dressed Kara can bring you to the hospital."

"Yeaaa"

Miranda hung up and dialed Nigel at Runway.

"Miranda where are you? There is two cups of coffee sitting here for you."

Miranda grinned, "We are all at the hospital." There was silence. "Nigel. Nigel are you there?"

Nigel sniffed, "The babies were born?"

"Yes Nigel, Andréa is feeding one of them now. You can visit if you like. Tell Emily and let Leslie know. I don't think anyone knows yet and we would like to try and keep it that way for a while."

"Yes, sure Miranda. Congratulations. Tell Six how happy I am for both of you."

"Thank you Nigel, I will."

She looked at Andréa, "Nigel was crying."

Miranda dialed one last number. "Maxine, Miranda here. I called to let you and Chris know that Andréa delivered last night. You can come visit anytime."

Miranda hung up, "It is going to be a busy day today. If you get to tired let me know." Andréa smiled.

Miranda went over to a sack and took out a small box. She walked back over to the bed and held the tiny box in her hands. "I know we promised to never take off our rings and twice already I have asked you to remove yours. I ask you to remove it one more time." Miranda lifted the lid. "This fits around the solitaire."

Miranda looked up at Andréa, tears were running down Andréa's face. Andréa removed her rings and Miranda took the solitaire and fitted it between the two rubys. Miranda placed it on Andréa's finger and kissed it. She then took Andréa's wedding/engagement ring and placed it on the finger. The babies closest to Andréa's heart and their union protecting them.

Richard knocked on the door and walked in. "Baby what is wrong?"

Andréa and Miranda looked up. "Look what Miranda just gave me." She held up her hand.

Richard took her hand in his and admired the rings. "That is beautiful Baby girl." He hugged her.

The girls were the next to arrive. The two of them walked quietly into the room followed by Kara. Caroline's eyes were wide. Cassidy walked over to the two sleeping infants.

Cassidy looked at Andy then the infants again. "They were both inside of you?"

Andy giggled, "Yes."

"I am never having a baby."

Andy laughed, and Miranda rolled her eyes. Michael started fussing. Miranda went over and checked his diaper.

Caroline walked over, "Can I change his diaper."

Miranda smiled, "sure."

Caroline went to work and Miranda mused to herself, "My little Mother."

Caroline looked up and smiled when she was done. "How did I do?"

Miranda bent to kiss her head, "Perfect. Do you want to take him over to Andréa so she can feed him?"

Caroline nodded smiling brightly. Miranda explained to her how to pick up the infant and helped her carry him to Andréa. Andréa started to nurse him.

Caroline frowned, "Does that hurt?"

Andy blushed, "No."

Richard started to fuss. "It's my turn." Exclaimed Cassidy. "He is so tiny. Hello Richard. I am Cassidy your big Sister."

Miranda grinned. Once she was done Miranda showed her how to pick up the infant. Cassidy sat with Richard rocking him while Andréa finished with Michael. The family had many visitors that day.

Nigel showed up and showered Andréa and Miranda with flowers. He hovered over the boys. "They are beautiful."

Miranda looked at Andréa and raised an eyebrow. By five that evening Miranda could tell Andréa was tired. She sent everyone home and told them she would let them know when the family got settled back home and they could visit.

The boys had eaten and were fast asleep in the bassinets. Miranda climbed into bed beside Andréa. Miranda wrapped her arms protectively around her love and kissed her neck. "It is time for you to rest."

Andréa yawned, nodded her head and fell fast asleep. Miranda looked at her family all sleeping soundly.

She picked up her phone and dialed. "Hi Bobbseys, I just want to say good night. Andréa and I with the boys will be home tomorrow and we will be all together." Miranda smiled as she hung up the phone. Tears were slowly falling down her face. Never in a million years would she have imagined her life turning out like this.

The boys had the couple up bright and early the next morning. Richard was screaming at the top of his lungs when Tammi stepped in. "O.K., O.K. I am convinced it is time to send you home."

Andréa smiled. Miranda handed the screaming infant to Andréa to nurse. Immediately the room was quiet. "O.K. I want to see you in a week. No sexual activity for six weeks."

Andréa glared at Tammi, "Seriously?"

Tammi stepped back, "for a minute there I thought it was Miranda sitting in that rocking chair." Miranda smirked. "I see the pediatrician has already been in so when you are ready to leave just let the nurse know."

Miranda picked up her phone and dialed, "We will be ready to leave in a couple of hours. I do not want anyone to know we had been here or are leaving."

"Miranda, why not just go out? Let them have their picture."

Miranda turned and glared, "because one picture is never enough. I will not have the boys exploited." Miranda turned to Andréa, "I am sorry. They will get their picture but on our terms and only in Runway. Nigel wants a family picture for his first editorial."

Andréa smiled and motioned Miranda over to her. Miranda sat on the foot stool. Andréa leaned forward and kissed Miranda. "It is O.K. I know you are just looking out for us."

"Speaking of Nigel I have thought of whom to ask to be the boys Godparents."

"Go ahead."

"Nigel, Michael, and the girls."

Miranda raised an eyebrow. "Nigel?"

"Oh Miranda you have to see how much he loves the boys. He would do anything for us for them."

Miranda smiled, "I agree. The girls will be ecstatic."

Andréa grinned, "I know."

Just then Michael walked in. The two women looked and smiled. Miranda walked over to her Brother, "Michael."

Michael gathered her in his arms, "I hear there are two very handsome little boys here."

Andréa giggled.

Miranda took Michael over to the sleeping infant, "Let me introduce you to Michael Sachs Priestly."

Michael looked up at Miranda then over to Andrea who was smiling brightly. Michaels hand shook as he reached out to touch the little boy. Miranda placed her hand on his.

There was a tear in Michael's eye. "Thank you," Michael could barely whisper.

Miranda looked at the child and laid her head on Michaels arm. Andréa was so touched by the scene playing out in front of her.

There was a knock on the door. Miranda stood on her tippy toes and kissed Michael on the cheek. She walked over to the door and opened it.

"Miranda, everything is set up just let us know when you are ready to go." Miranda nodded, then shut the door.

"Shall we go home?"

Andréa stood up and handed Richard to Miranda. Miranda dressed the infants as Andréa got ready. The boys were belted into their car seats and Andréa put the light on. Andréa got into the wheelchair and held Richard as Michael carried the other infant. Security was waiting at the nurse's station. Andréa said goodbye to all the nurses and thanked them. The new family was taken out the same side door Andréa had come in. The car seats were settled into the backs of two SUVs. Andréa sat with one and Miranda sat with the other. The SUVs pulled into the parking garage attached to the townhome. The security helped Andréa and Miranda inside with the boys then brought in all their belongings.

The girls were waiting inside. Jumping up and down.

Miranda held her finger over her mouth, "Shhh do not wake them."

The girls sat on the floor in front of the two carriers and watched the babies as Miranda directed the security where to put all the belongings. Once the security men left Miranda bent down and unbuckled one of the boys and handed him to Andréa, then she unbuckled the other and they all headed up stairs and placed the boys in their cribs. Miranda bent to kiss the tiny foreheads.

"Now we are all home." Andréa had tears in her eyes.
